Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves traded mostly 4.00 to 8.00 lower, with sharper declines noted on lighter weight calves. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady to 2.00 lower. Quality was very attractive with several smaller packages of nice calves and big load lots of yearlings on offer. Trading activity was light to moderate on moderate buyer demand. Planting of winter wheat continues across the trading region, but some moisture will be needed soon to help the stand emerge.
